Michael
Savage is pretty much spot-on in this vintage rant. I like
Savage, but he does suffer from the "looking for anti-antisemitism"
disease that's every bit as annoying as the "looking for racism" virus
that afflicts so many Liberals. The video link appeared in a comment about Ann Coulter endorsing
Romney. She also dissed Newt at the same time.
Early in the week El-jefe sent me a link to an American Spectator piece, "Is
Newt Gingrich America's Churchill." No, he is not, IMO. I
loved Newt for his role in ending 40 years of Democratic terror (for a
while). But I see him as a transitional character, more Patrick
Henry than George Washington, and one with serious character
flaws.
I addressed one flaw in a post 10 years ago (A
strange comeuppance), about his treatment of Christina
Jefferies*. Newt had appointed
her as House Historian, only to throw her under the bus after Democrats
- filthy Democrats - called her a Jew hater. I was shocked,
disappointed, and worried about his character.
During the same time, Newt, after it was discovered that a few million
$imoleons were missing from the House operating fund, announced that he
would let it slide, in an effort at appeasement. I don't forget
this kind of thing. I disagree with a few of Ann Coulter's
stands, but I have never questioned her character. She wants
Romney? Fine. Since Palin bailed, and Cain appears to have
been pressed and
folded, it doesn't matter to me. We're in the sh_t.
But that's just me.
